2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I get that, there is an open pool etc, but its still wouldn't be the 18th best player in the draft, it would be the 21/22.
Yep been onto him for a while (I picked him in last years phantom). Reckon we'll start to see his best next year.
Not sure of this has been floated anywhere, but looking at the draft selections by club, the Crows only have picks 4 & 64, so they're in a similar position to North. Maybe they would be interested in splitting pick 4?
Pick 11 and one of our later picks might suit them and hand us another top 5 mid

Some mention of the Blues taking Draper at #3. If so then Adelaide may look to trade #4 live on draft night
Pretty keen on Alwyn davey motlop for a train on spot after the draft
Perfect ssp candidate

Its an interesting idea but as you point out it would only be a live trade.
Crows would take Smith or Draper and not trade imo
Beware! sounds awfully like a repeat of Judd to Carlton, Kennedy to West Coast scenario where I would argue West Coast won the trade
Maybe..but H Reid is an absolute gamewinner..he is Judd and more.
As long as we did not overpay. Say Allen and a F1.
Think about FOS/Lalor + H Reid + Tarranto + Langford + Hotten + Smart <2025.>....kicking to Whitlock, Faull,Berry and Hannaford.+ F1 2026
Backline rock solid with Balta Gibcus Brown + 2025-6 key back...or Tauru/Travaglia
A genuine finals side after 3 years from now.
Need to be bold to succeed from where we are.
Reckon Langford is there at 6
Is lalor and Langford a good mix both super talents with plenty of impact
Kane is a young gun love the way he goes about it he gets plenty of the ball but seeing him throughout the year he ain't quick from congestion. Btw no one has said Kane is slow. I said that Taranto, Prestia, Hopper, Ross, and McAuliffe don't possess breakaway speed.
Dont think Blues will pick Smillie, I think it'll be Draper or FOS (if he's available).

Whos not rating McAuliffe Redmond, He is only in his first year. I havent read any negative comments.
Yeah there's been a few saying he's overrated, questioning certain attributes etc.
To be honest, I don't actually mind that though Hirsute. I'm not like a lot of Pom Pom wavers on PRE. I quite like objective criticism. It gets you thinking, even if you don't agree with it.
It's better than endless rah rah Richmond is great at and in everything, and then when we're not, going into defense or excuse mode.

That’s why I pulled you up on Green.
Your arms were flapping around like Kamdyn McKintosh

Equally, you'll understand why I pulled you up when you were big noting yourself about sitting next to him on a plane ....after you'd been bagging him out for so long.
Yeah actually that's fair enough.

One concern on this combination would be the darksider view.
Lalor becomes a waddler and doesnt have the endurance to play midfield. He becomes Raynor the 2nd.
Langford has endurance but not the toe or step. At AFL level he is no longerthe taller stronger player but a slower big bodied mid. Maybe a Dunkley but dark side he's a Matt Kennedy type. "provides valuable support to the team around the contest." (Quote about kennedy orig pick 13 now at his third club)
Again this is pessimistic, it may or may not happen.
The riskis that we get 2 players who are solid but not starting mids.
Its one reason why i'd trade up for 2
